Cravings know no boundaries,
渴望无限
and sometimes you just want a Big Mac for breakfast.
有时 你就想点个巨无霸当早餐
You’re an adult, after all, and adulting is hard.
毕竟你是个成年人 大人的世界很辛苦
There’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to have
没什么合理的理由阻止你
a Big Mac first thing in the morning…
用巨无霸开始新一天
so why on earth would McDonald’s deny you?
那么 为什么麦当劳不卖给你？
“I would like to buy a hamburger!”
我想点一个汉堡包！
“I would like to buy a hamburgah!”
我要点个汉堡包！
“I would like to buy a hamburger!”
我想点一个汉堡包！
“I would like to buy de burguh!”
我要点个汉堡包！
“I would like to buy a hamburger!”
我想点一个汉堡包！
“I would lie to buy a hambuguh!”
我要点个汉堡包！
It turns out there are two reasons:
原来 有两个原因：
the official one, and then the real one.
官方的说法和真实的原因
First, there’s the official reason.
首先是官方的说法
McDonald’s spokespeople told The Wall Street Journal
麦当劳发言人告诉《华尔街日报》
that it’s simple, people don’t really want it.
原因很简单 顾客早上不想吃
“The demand isn’t strong enough to
点单量还没有多到
warrant running the burger grill in the morning.”
让他们从早上就开始烤肉饼
Hardcore morning burger fans clearly disagree, though.
不过 “汉堡控”们明确表示不同意
So what’s the real reason McDonald’s doesn’t serve burgers in the morning?
那么麦当劳早餐不卖汉堡的真实原因是？
Well, according to a number of Reddit posters
根据“红迪”上许多
who claim to be current or former McDonald’s employees,
自称是现任和前任麦当劳员工的说法
it has to do with how the kitchen works.
这里涉及了后厨的运作
It turns out there’s a big transition between the breakfast menu and the lunch menu.
早餐和午餐供应的餐品 种类差别很大
Some of it is for health and safety reasons,
基于健康或后厨安全的一些原因
as there’s a process for handling
对肉饼的处理和烹制
and serving meat that needs to be followed.
要遵循企业的质量流程
But there’s also the issue of cooking different types
但一位发帖人说
of food on the same grill with one poster saying,
也有不同餐品在同个烤架上烹制的问题
“I’m cringing at the thought of biting into
我可不想吃到
some grilled chicken with McDonald’s sausage grease in it.”
带麦当劳香肠油脂味的烤鸡肉
And over on Quora a McDonald’s employee
“问乎”上一位麦当劳员工指出
pointed out that eggs and burgers are cooked
鸡蛋和汉堡肉的烤制
on the same equipment at very different temperatures,
是同一台机器在不同温度下完成的
and there’s no way to easily switch between the two.
根本无法轻松切换不同温度模式
Try to cook at the same temperature
企图在同一个温度下同时烤制
and you’ll get undercooked burgers and overcooked eggs,
结果一定是肉饼没熟 鸡蛋太熟了
and nobody wants either of those things.
没人会对这两样东西满意的
Of course, burger conspiracy theorists
当然 “汉堡阴谋论者”指出
point out the big flaw in these arguments:
这些理由中的一大缺陷：
all day breakfast.
全日供应的早餐
But before you do your gotcha dance,
但在你说“完胜你了”前
there are a couple issues with that argument.
这个反驳存在一些问题
First, according to Reader’s Digest,
首先《读者文摘》报道
all day breakfast has caused longer wait times in the afternoon.
全日供应早餐使午餐的候餐时间变长了
Which is fine for the lazy loafers
那些拿麦当劳当午餐小食的
who eat at McDonald’s for their mid day snack.
游手好闲的家伙不会介意
But longer lines caused by serving both meal options
但由于供应两种菜单导致候餐时间变长
could be a major issue for commuters
对早上匆匆忙忙的上班族来说
trying to beat the early morning rush to work.
这会是个很大的问题
That’s one of the reasons they held off on all-day breakfast to begin with.
这也是他们暂停全日早餐供应的原因
“Sorry sir, we stopped serving breakfast.”
对不起先生 早餐停止供应了
“What are you talking about, we’re four seconds late!”
开玩笑吧 我只晚了4秒啊！
“No, you’re 30 minutes and four seconds late,
不 你晚了30分钟加4秒
we stopped serving breakfast at 10:30.”
我们十点半就停止早餐供应的
“Aww, Holy shit!”
啊啊啊 天哪！
The other thing is, as Slate points out,
另一个原因和Slate网站说的一样
McDonald’s isn’t actually offering their entire breakfast menu all day.
麦当劳并没有全天供应所有早餐餐品
It varies by region and by store,
不同地区和门店供应有差异
and in some locations there are just some options you can’t get.
有些地方 一些餐品种类午餐并不供应
Many aren’t serving hash browns all day, for example,
比如 薯饼就不是全天供应的
just because it’s logistically impossible.
因为后厨无法制作
There just isn’t enough room in the fryers to make hash browns and fries,
炸锅里没有足够制作薯饼和薯条的空间
So cuts are necessary.
所以必须从菜单划掉薯饼
And making fries in the morning wouldn’t really be feasible anyway,
早餐供应薯条实际上也做不到
because fries are made in bulk batches.
因为薯条是批量生产的
As one Reddit philosopher pointed out,
“红迪”上一位“大明白”说的对
they have to put on an entire basket full.
炸筐必须装满了才下锅
So I sort of understand if in the morning,
我很理解这点
they don’t want to make all these fries
他们不想准备好大量薯条
for the one guy asking for them.
结果只有一个人下单
Still, all-night workers and early-morning snackers shouldn’t lose hope.
不过 通宵党和早起鸟也别失去希望
After all, just a few short years ago,
毕竟 就在短短几年前
fans were bemoaning the fact
粉丝们都在叫嚣着
that all day breakfast wasn’t a thing.
为什么没有全天供应早餐
It just speaks to the power of bemoaning that now,
抗议是有结果的
all day breakfast exists.
现在有了全天供应早餐
So maybe all day burgers could follow
所以或许不久的将来
suit at some point in the future,
就会有全日供应的汉堡了
though hopefully all-day burger advocates won’t be quite so…
只是希望“全日供应汉堡党”
militant with their demands.
不会这么激烈的提出需求
“I don’t want lunch, I want breakfast.”
我不要午餐 我就要早餐
“Yeah, well, hey. I’m really sorry.”
我明白 不过 我都已经道歉了
“Yeah, well, hey, I’m really sorry too!”
我明白 不过 我也很抱歉
And here’s a bit of news that will give
这里有些新闻
burger lovers even more to feel good about.
汉堡党一定很喜欢
McDonald’s does, in fact, serve both burgers and breakfast
事实上 麦当劳的确在一个国家
alongside each other during all hours of the day in one country:
全日提供早餐和汉堡
Australia.
就在澳大利亚
In 2018, News.com.au confirmed that the plan,
2018年“澳洲新闻网”证实
which had started out as a trial in just a few areas of the country,
原先在澳州小部分地区试行的这个计划
was going nationwide,
即将全国推广
with Big Macs, cheeseburgers, McNuggets, Quarter Pounders, and fries
巨无霸 吉士汉堡 麦乐鸡 足三两和薯条
making the jump to the breakfast menu.
都会出现在早餐菜单中
Does that mean there’s potential for it to happen in the US, too?
那么美国也会列入计划吗？
As noted burger enthusiast Kevin Garnett famously said,
就像著名“汉堡控”凯文·加内特说的
“Anything is possible.
一切皆有可能
Anything is POSSIBLE!!!”
一切皆有可能！
